Summary
This study tests whether myofascial release therapy, a type of hands-on treatment that loosens tight connective tissue, can improve body posture and facial symmetry in healthy adults. Sixty participants will be randomly assigned to receive the therapy twice a week for six weeks or to a control group with no treatment. Researchers will measure changes using photos and facial landmarks before and after the study.
